Most musical instrument stores will carry an array of support items for guitars and other instruments such as controls and knobs, items to lock your strap on your guitar, a wide array of strings in either nylon, steel, bronze for electric and acoustic and classical guitars, tuning machines if something goes wrong with the tuning mechanism, pitch pipes, hangers to hang your guitar on the wall so it's not easily knocked over and damaged, connecting and mounting things for mounting strings and pro winders.
